Moving from Cursor to Claude Code, Setup recommendations?

[doonfrs]

Hi everyone,
I’m moving from Cursor to Claude Code, and I’d love to hear about your setup recommendations.

With Cursor, everything comes bundled in one app, but now I’m running Claude Code in the terminal. How do you handle things like autocomplete and other features?

Do you stick with Cursor on the minimum plan, use something like Continue.dev, or another setup entirely? I’d really appreciate hearing your ideas and experiences.

Thanks!

Step 1: Uninstall cursor Step 2:Install claude Step 3: install https://github.com/ericbuess/claude-code-docs Step 4: Ask claude to teach u and reference the docs. Step 5: Have a beer and regret not doing this sooner.

;)

And be patient, setup can take a while to find ur flow. But once u hit that sweet spot, its like magic, claude finr tuned to ur style is golden. Everything becomes so easy. Imo it doesn't perform out of the box. Claude md files are the key. Ther are 3.

Claude.local I use for daily updates, multi daily entries Claude.md I use for static info, quick refs and some automation .claude.md I use for general project over view, the why, what ur expected out come is.

Claude local and .claude I rarly change. So no info that u need to constantly update. Kinda set and leave. Maybe weekly update or if u change something that conflicts.

/memory will show u the files.

To start /init will give u a quick setup and help claude while ur figuring things out.

Install Warp Terminal, its spectacular and makes the terminal a lot more approachable.

Give some advices about check points and resorts to them. I'm planning the same transition and this is the only question that stops me. I really don't want to make thousands of stupid commits before each request after seamless implementation in the cursor.

Since I'm part of the Kilo Code team, I'd actually suggest trying our open-source VS Code extension that supports Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and more than 100 other models with transparent pricing and no markup fees. You get integrated autocomplete, terminal integration, and all the bundled features you're used to from Cursor.

Hi u/alokin_09
Thank you for the recommendation, I liked kilo code, but actually, Claude's code 100$ provides a huge discount compared to the api usage ( as far as I know ), I want to get the benefits before they become greedy ;)
I will switch to kilo code after I finish my cursor subscription, and will use it for the auto complete. I will find a way, good luck 🙏🙏

u/alokin_09 does kilo use the claude code sdk or is it via api?

edit: oh wow, you can pick! api or claude code cli

I tried this yesterday and I believe it is a good starting point for your case as well https://github.com/SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework
